India considers its own OS
By Prisma News
Category:
Times of India reports that the Indian government is looking into creating a home-grown operating system (presumably an OS that would serve both personal and commercial needs). This doesn’t appear to be a matter related to spoken languages, because as we’ve reported both Microsoft and Google are working hard to localize their software. Rather, the effort is being framed as a security measure.
“The overwhelming belief among government bosses is that an indigenous low-grade, but clean, software could nix the chances of foreign states infiltrating the computers of key Indian establishments and compromising the country’s security.”
While this initiative may appeal to Indian patriots, tech observers don’t seem to regard the move highly. “A fool’s errand” is how one commenter described it on the popular blog BoingBoing, questioning the feasibility of creating an OS from scratch. Another commenter noted:
“The German military was trying to have themselves a ‘safe’ & ‘unified’ hardware/software infrastructure (safety by obscurity, to some degree - while they wanted to be able to interface NATO partners, they also wanted their very own standards in just about everything else. The project cost 10 billion Euros, and was decreed an ‘abject failure’ just a few weeks ago.”

By Office 2010 on November 11, 2011 -- 9:34pm
k kThough the Office 2010 improvements to “Office Professional Plus 2010” are Microsoft Office 2010 solid, they are minute in comparison Microsoft Office to the changes Microsoft Office 2007 made from Office 2003 to Office 2007. And Microsoft Office 2007 for the casual user an upgrade to the suite probably Outlook 2010 does not make much Microsoft outlook sense. However, for business Microsoft Office 2010 key users who might Microsoft Office professional 2010 get the suite of Office 2010 home and student applications with their Office 2010 home and business Enterprise CAL, and also use collaboration Microsoft outlook 2010 tools like SharePoint, an upgrade Adobe acrobat might make sense. The software installed Adobe reader and worked fine. I Microsoft Office 2010 professional think the updated interface is very attractive and for the most part well laid out. My only complaint is Microsoft office 2010 trial that Microsoft does Adobe acrobat 9 not offer an upgrade version for long time Office fans.
